My babies and why they have their names...

Mason was to be Benjamin, and there was another boy born while I was preggers in the fam that named him Benjamin, so Mason was my 2nd choice. Shane, his MN, is his daddy's MN too. Madison is Maddie because daddy always loved the name and we had no idea til birth she was a girl, so I told him if she was he could have his wish, and her MN, Camille is hubbys Grams name, she had so many grandbabies and greatgrandbabies and NOT ONE named for her, so I vowed to name my daughter after her, and I did. Not unusual names but they have meanings to us

Re: My babies and why they have their names...

My twins are ElizabethRae and ElliotGray. Lizzie was named after her grandma, and I fell in love with the name a long time ago. Rae is for my husband's aunt, Rachel, who died around the time Lizzie and Elliot were born. Elliot is a name we both love, and it has a plus as it's Elliot's grandfather's name. Gray is my maiden name and just happened to rhyme with Rae. They now have a sister, VeraAdelaide, whose name is a combo of our absolute favorites that we think should be revived. By the way, we pronounce Vera VAIR-ah instead of VEER-ah. It is so much prettier that way, and since Verity is pronounced like that, I always thought Vera was like that too.

our daughter is Josephine Rosamel Anne (4)Josephine was my mother's oldest sister, Rosamel was my paternal Great Grandmother (bonus points, I knew her as a kid) and Her name was her mother's maiden name. Anne honors four different Aunts, two Anne's, one Ann and one Anna. I just prefer the Anne spelling over all others.

I grew up hating my name and so have been wondering if she will like hers, so far, I'm happy to say, she does. (I was choosing other names to be called by 2, she has never done that)
